That the exact location of where rockets land was always treated as sensitive information everywhere to make it hard for the other side to adjust their targeting? During WW2 the British government went as far as coordinate fake news about where the V2 rockets landed with the media to make it harder for the Germans to hit anything.

I'm missing a piece, how does knowing the exact impact coordinate help other side?

ever play battleship, the board game? it's like that. it would be much harder to play the game if you didn't know whether you hit or missed a target.
